Answer 4

A) Do you support the troops?
Especially non-comms who are more victims than victimizers

B) Do you believe the war was mismanaged? " War" is a misnomer. It should be called the Dictator Dumbya Big Lie Iraqi Crusade.

C) Would you like to see the troops leave Iraq if it could be done without destabilizing Iraq our hurting national security.

Like there are "50 ways to leave your lover", we should pick one ... ANY one... other than one sponsored by the Dumbya Coup

D) Would you support a larger troop surge if it meant resolving the conflict?
The right word is "escalation" and the question is reasoning from an illogical and impossible premise.

E) Would you support the above if it was not overseen by the Bush administration?

There IS no "adminstration" in the USA but rather the Dumbya Coup. Iraq is FUBAR "courtesy" of Dumbya , but some international help might help IF it had credibility across the spectrum of Iraqi people. Maybe that is an impossibility?

F) Do believe the war has weakened or strengthened the US domestically and internationally?

Weakened and THAT is not just an opinion.

G) Do you beleive that those who disagree with you hate America and/or are corrupt?

I think the Dumbya Coup is ABSOLUTELY corrupt and hates the Constitution as we know it, mostly because they have SAID so. Their followers, all 28% of Americans, are mostly misguided.

H) What how do you identify politically? (lib, con, ind.....)

Liberal

Answer 5

A. Yes, any soldier doing his patriotic duty deserves respect and support.
B.No, The war was won brilliantly. The peace was lost sometimes you just can't always get what you want.
C.Everybody does, but it's too late now some damage is now
unavoidable.
D. Yes, but at best you may stabilise Baghdad now and prop up an ever more unpopular Government, ( Remember Afghanistan and the Russians holding Kabul, same story )
E. No, it still won't work
F. Weakened, old Allies have withdrawn support from US foreign policies, more fanatical enemies are created every day and the US is internally divided along Partisan lines.
G.No -( Irrational ) Fear is a strong motivator, America is obviously Traumatized by the 9-11 attacks, when the Image of
safety and invulnerability was shattered. It is hard to have to admit you can be reached and hurt by a fanatical, elusive enemy using immoral and inhuman tactics ( and likely to continue doing so ). Some are just very afraid some others have gone over the edge and turned paranoid. understandable.
H. I'm Dutch, so American political labels don't really apply
Our form of democracy isn't split along 2 partisan lines more or less predetermining your stance on certain issues.
We have Troops in Helmand fighting Taliban which I Support,
( I'd love to see more UN troops there, but the US administration rejected the offer of more troops ( Donald
Rumsfeld ----Why ??) and the issue hasn't come up again )
We also condemn the current effort in Iraq, and I agree with my government on that as well .On political, moral, and strategic grounds.
But I'm a leftie in European terms, and in some American Eyes probably a ' dirty pinko', but well over 80 % of
Europeans would fall in that category anyway so I can live with that.

Answer 8

A. Without a doubt
B. Yes although what war was not mismanaged to some extent?
C. I would like the troops to be home as soon as possible but not before the region is stabilized. That will not be for quite some time. We went into this war being told it would not be easy or quick. We live in a society that gets bored easy and has a short term memory.

E. Not sure what your asking. If there were a Democrat in office with the current situation we are in than yes.

Answer 9

A yes
B yes
C yes
D At this point in time I don't believe a "surge" (which is just pc term for an escalation) of any size would resolve the conflict
E doubtful
F weakened US domestically (divided the country and put us into debt) and internationally (all the sympathy and support that we had after 911 has been lost and turned to loathing. We are seen as bullies and non co-operative. Much of the world outright hates us because of the war. This administration is viewed as unable to negotiate and poor at diplomacy)
G No. Well probably some are selfish and corrupt. I don't believe that they consciously hate America, though they put their own interests before the well being of the nation as a whole. Many are just gullible sheep.
H I consider myself a moderate Democrat with liberal leanings.
I would like to add that I was opposed to the war from the beginning.

Answer 10

a.. I support the soldiers that are fighting this war but not the administration's reasons for being there.
b. The war has been horribly mismanaged. Obviously.
c. I want our troops home NOW. They deserve to be with their families, not halfway across the world fighting mr. bush's personal vendetta.

e. This is a civil war. We shouldn't be there, regardless of who is in the White Hose.
f. This war has destroyed America's reputation.
